As far as I know, you do not need to meet FCC rules or the EMC directive if this is just an evaluation board to let engineers evaluate your integrated circuits. You should include a notice indicating that if the board does cause interference, it is the users responsibility to correct the problem.

What is the RF in your product used for? Is FCC part 18 similar to EN55011 where in addition to having ISM bands, there is a Group 2 limit which can be used in special cases? The Class A group 2 limit is quite relaxed. The EN55011 standard defines Group 2 ISM equipment as, "group 2 contains all IS

We have a product that incorporates an RF source. This source is required for the internal operation of the equipment, that is, the product could be placed inside a Faraday cage and still operate, unlike a broadcast transmitter which must radiate to the outside environment to operate as intended.
